  • Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey are drilling ice cores in the Antarctic and analysing them to find out what the Earth's temperature and carbon dioxide levels were like in the past.
    In this video, Ice Core Scientist Nerilie Abram reveals how we recover and study ice through the ages, and how this gives us an insight into how the Earth's climate is changing.
    00:00 Intro
    00:20 What is it like on an Antarctic Survey expedition?
    00:52 How do you drill ice cores?
    01:28 How is the climate changing in Antarctica?
    01:43 What can we learn from ice cores?

    I am watching this video as part of my Climate Change and Sustainability Course in college. Not looking for specific answers to a homework assignment as many students below are (good luck students!) I'm tasked with increasing my understanding of the causes of climate change. Was nice to see a physical ice bore sample with the visible air bubbles (after cutting a slice). Next, I'll look for a similar video of ocean sediment cores that look at carbonates from fossils of plankton.

    1875 was the coldest time in last 10,000 years..so of course the temerature is rising. Looking at ice core sample graphs you see the same pattern, up and down the ebb and flow of natural cyclic variation.

    • @MariaMartinez-researcher
      @MariaMartinez-researcher Před 10 měsíci

      Except that natural cyclic variation takes millennia to happen, whereas the current climate change has happened in the course of about a century. Also, natural periods of global warming match increases of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere; the current man-made increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is causing the same effect. Didn't you listen to what the researcher said? How is it that a bystander is certain he knows better than a scientist about her own field of study?
      Claiming that the current man-made climate change, with all the catastrophic effects we are watching on a daily basis (and the mass extinctions that make no headlines) is of no importance, or cannot, or should not be mitigated because such events have happened before naturally, is like a man who, on the basis that wildfires happen naturally, sets fire to his own house, not having another place to go, and refuses to use the extinguisher he owns, or even the garden hose - and refuses to heed the firefighters.

    Visible light is electromagnetic, short wave photonic energy. When it strikes the surface of the Earth, that which is not reflected away into space is absorbed and converted into heat (infrared energy). This heat is conducted throughout the material that absorbed it. Any air that comes into direct contact with it absorbs some of it via conduction and is then convected away. The remainder of the heat from the material’s surface is emitted away as infrared long waved radiation which passes freely through the small moleculed atmospheric gases of nitrogen, oxygen and argon. However, the larger atmospheric molecules such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, etcetera have a quantum mechanics based affinity for absorbing and re-emitting this infrared radiation - thus, slowing down its escape into space. It is this blanketing effect on infrared radiation that makes life on Earth possible - for without it there could be no liquid water on the planet.

    Great technical job but extremely poor science!
    The null hypothesis that co2 controls climate is false and you will tell nothing about what future climate will be with co2 analysis.
    The hypothesis that climate controls co2 production through photosynthesis is the correct hypothesis.
    As temperature increases photosynthesis increases and animals flourish putting more co2 into the atmosphere.
    As temperature declines plant production decreases and land available for plant production decreases thus Animal populations and co2 production decreases lessing co2 in the atmosphere!
